Accepting and warning

The Ravens. 

That was what the night council call themselves. Though people rarely speak of the name, even though the night council on the mainland was known to everyone in the land. 

Aries was only on the mainland for over two years, but she never actually participated in their nightly gathering. She was never invited, and she was never interested. However, she had an idea of Maximus IV's relationship with the Raven. 

Odd. 

Maximus never showed interest in the said council but was always mindful of them. There were times he would openly publicize his disgust to these nightly gatherings, and yet, Maximus IV never failed to miss it. 

For the woman at the helm, Giselle, to intrude on the queen's chancery unannounced to invite Aries only meant Aries couldn't stall time anymore. The Ravens were on the move.
